Hi  Shubhada,

Nice pics. I think this is H. obovatum Wall. because stipules are obovate oblong with glandular margins and leaves elliptic or obovate . H.orixense has stipules broadly oblong, obtuse recurved, deciduous.

regards,
Rashida.

Very good demonstration of photography of plant character.
H.obovatum from me too.
I have never seen this tree. Still according to descriptions from books, though the leaves here are not clearly obovate, Leaves appear glabrous rather than pubescent. The petiole here(Picture129) is glabrous above and pubescent beneath which goes in favour of H.obovatum.
In other species it is pubescent on both surfaces.
Dr Phadke
By the way is it the classical example of interpetiolar stipule?I think so.
